Summary
The day he faced a monster at the Byers' house, that should have been the end of it. That's how stories are supposed to go, right?
It's October 1984, and Demogorgons are still coming to Hawkins from the Upside Down, opening gates around Hawkins Lab. Every night, Steve patrols the woods, hoping to stop them before they kill anyone else.
Hawkins has had a hard year.
When the new guy that's been giving him shit in gym class is attacked by a Demogorgon, Steve saves his life. Now if only he would stop turning up in dangerous places in various states of injury... Because Demogorgons are attracted to blood.

Summary
Billy’s a tactile guy. He lies down with his head on Steve’s lap sometimes, and Steve loses track of his textbook watching the shadows cast by his eyelashes, but, like, they’ve been doing that since freshman year. And Billy always has a hand on Steve’s back when they’re in line at the dining hall, or when they’re out for drinks, because Steve has a tendency to wander off if he gets distracted. Billy always leans on Steve to catch himself when he trips, with a hand on his bicep or his chest, but it’s not like it’s Billy’s fault he trips a lot for a guy who’s otherwise well coordinated.
Steve doesn’t mind that Billy touches him so much, of course not. They’ve been friends for years at this point, and it’s honestly the strongest friendship Steve’s ever had.
It’s just that, if Billy starts dating Heather and she sees him hanging all over Steve, she might get the wrong idea, and it could make things awkward.
(Billy is pining, Steve is oblivious, and Heather doesn't want anything to do with this. Steve and Billy touch each other all the time, because that's what friends do.)

Summary
“But the sneaking around and the fact my brother has the emotional maturity of a fruit loop has got me thinking that Dean’s doing his usual pretending he has no feelings thing. And Cas…who knows.”
“Men,” Donna grumbles. “Guess it’s worse when there are two of ’em.”
“Hey, I take offence to that,” Sam chuckles. “I’m a man.”
“That why you’re not just talking to Dean about this?”
“Fair point.”
“So you really wanna put the screws to him?” Donna asks, mischief in her eyes. “Isn’t that a bit mean?”
“Listen, Dean’s my brother and I love him. But he’s also my big brother and I have a duty to exploit every opportunity I have to fuck with him.”
“Well, I can’t argue with that,” Donna shrugs. “You really think Dean’ll fall for it? Me putting the moves on him?”
“Well, it’ll make him squirm, that’s for sure.” Sam glances from the road to Donna. “You got a better idea?”
“Oh, you betcha.”

Summary
At the bottom of the grocery list, different from either Sam’s neat block print or Dean’s own messy scrawl, was just a few words of script.
Peanut butter, please. Thank you.
And then, squeezed in smaller script underneath so as to fit into the corner margin:
Love, Castiel

Summary
“Actually,” he says. “Let’s buy a house.”
“What?” Jack asks, eyes wide.
“Let’s get a house,” Dean says. “Let’s find somewhere and--and live there. Somewhere with windows.”
“Windows?” Jack says, like he’s never heard of such a thing.
“Yeah,” Dean says. “How does that sound?” Jack drops his animal crackers and throws himself at Dean, wrapping his tiny arms around Dean’s waist.

Summary
“So, what’re you actually proposing here, Dean?” Bobby asked, greying eyebrows raised.
“I’m suggesting we watch the preview before we buy the movie,” Dean snarked.
Castiel’s look of confusion only deepened and, for once, Sam was right there with him. “…You know, skip a few chapters in the book. Check out the dessert menu before ordering dinner. I mean, if Zachariah can show us where the future’s heading, why not Cas?”
Dean's not thrilled about Sam's plan to say, "Yes," to the Devil and spend an eternity in the pit, so he proposes taking a road trip 15 years in the future to see how it all works out in the aftermath of the Apocalypse.
Sam had thought he was prepared for what awaited him in the future, but a pregnant fiancé, a human Castiel, and a married Dean were more than he'd been expecting.

Summary
"I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is." - Vladimir Nabokov
Castiel knows Dean will never fall in love with him, no matter how long he pines for him. But when a witch curses Dean to lose his memory and Cas is called in to help, Dean starts flirting with him. Cas tries to focus on the case, he really does, but he’s caught up in the whirlwind of feelings Dean is stirring up. When he steps into a diner to pick up a bacon cheeseburger, milkshake, and a slice of pie for Dean, he gets taken by the Loughlins instead, leaving Dean alone in the cold.
Dean doesn’t remember the beautiful man with the bright blue eyes, but he’s warm and smells like Heaven, and his voice is deep like gravel road under tires. When the pretty man says, “I’m Cas. I’m your best friend,” Dean’s inclined to believe him, but there’s something else there: a fluttering in his chest, a gravitational pull.
“Are we dating?” No, but I wish we were.
